IMPORTANT FOR THE RIDER
» Riders must wear a helmet Please wear an appropriate helmet (such as
a cycle helmet)
» A driving license is mandatory Proof of having passed a moped test
is required. If you have a German driving license, this is already
included. If you were born before 01/04/1965, you may also ride the
S-Pedelec without a driving license.
» Riders must have insurance The small vehicle mark is available from all
insurance companies.
» Cycle paths can be used with restrictions You may ride on all cycle
paths without restrictions if you use your S-Pedelec as a bicycle, i.e.
with no assistance from the electric motor. A change to the road trac
regulations stipulates the following apply when a motor is used: As is
also the case with mopeds, you must use cycle paths when using your
fast S-Pedelec outside built-up areas. An additional sign on the cycle
path, „“No mopeds““, shows when this is not permitted by way of
exception (as stipulated in § 2, Section 4 of the road trac regulations
(StVO)). Within built-up areas on the other hand, you may only use
cycle paths when there is an additional sign on the cycle path (as laid
down in § 41, Section 2, No. 5).
» Children may not be transported in trailers pulled by S-Pedelecs.
Normal cycle trailers can be attached however, provided the tow
attachment used has the general operating permit necessary for
motorised vehicles.
S-Pedelecs must, as all cycles, satisfy the requirements laid
down in the respective national road trac acts.
III.II Legal regulations in Germany
Other regulations may be in place in other countries. Find
out about applicable local legislation before using your
S-Pedelec abroad.
Some of the regulations in place in Germany at the time this user guide
was written:
» 20From a legal standpoint, the S-Pedelec is a Class L1e moped. It
must, as with other powered two-wheelers and motorised vehicles,
satisfy the requirements laid down in the Road Trac Licensing
Regulations.
» The S-Pedelec may not travel at over 20 km/h with motor assistance
only You will therefore reach 15 to 18 km/h on the at.
» Motor assistance cuts out when you reach about 45 km/h. You cannot
reach this speed, for which you require about 700 Watt, with just the
assist power from the electric motor. You reach speed of 35-45 km/h
with the combination of the 350 Watt motor output and your own
physical strength.
